My 2018 has run hot since new. Any suggestions from anyone else who has had temp. Issues with this Bike. I know it was addressed on the 19 but I need help with my 18.

I've run them on an RMZ and a CRF after the stock ones got crushed in crashes. Good build quality, higher capacity, stronger than stock and a heck of a lot cheaper. Like $89 a pair for the RMZ, so I bought 2 sets to have spares.

From what I understand, It's a fundamental flaw on the 2018 model, but much more catastrophic than the 2004-2006 valve eaters. The 2018 owners that I've talked to and parts I've seen the flaw is a lack of lubrication in the cylinder head.
My SPECULATION is that the various ports in the head that direct oil are insufficient, the bike is very sensitive to oil viscosity, or both.
What I struggle with is: how this got past Hondas durability testing. Maybe someone here can speak to that.

just playing!
Have to retake pictures as the Works kit will also include the better designed clamps and gas cap & radiator overflow hoses.
We will also be making the special oversized and braced radiators soon.
